Rockingham has always had a low-grip surface which is very hard on tyres. I quite like this circuit with a mix of everything as well as being one of the only anti-clockwise circuits. I had a nice result at Hockenheim after which I hoped to progress further and get some more results here.
After Magny-Cours I was pretty confident of my pace and looking forward to making up some lost ground. I have always liked the Hockenheim circuit with its relatively high-speed straights and fast, flowing corners. The last time I was here I won one race, and got punted off in the other, so I had mixed thoughts.
I turned up to Magny-Cours to find the weather was like an English summer, really warm and very pleasant. Fresh from the last race at Silverstone, I had come armed with a few bits of important information that I hoped would help me out.
After Oulton Park I came away with decent points on the board after a hard first weekend. Silverstone was the first race for which I had the full updates available on the car and I was looking forward to scoring further points.
Returning to Oulton Park this year was a great feeling after such a successful start there during my previous year in F3. I worked hard over the winter break on fitness, preparing myself for a three race weekend, a great opportunity for lots of track time.
After a long winter period of training and general preparation it has come to the first race which takes place at Oulton Park this upcoming weekend.
After Winning the National F3 class I managed to get myself an invite to the 56th Macau Grand Prix, I never expected my season to finish off by going to Macau and to drive on a street circuit.
After Portugal I came to Brands Hatch on a high after winning the National championship the previous week, there was no pressure and I was going into the last race weekend of the series extremely hopeful and looking to enjoy the last round as much as possible.
After first qualifying I had a lot of time to make up as I was near a second of the pace. After many hours discussing the issues with my engineer we came to a couple conclusions that would hopefully help us close the gap significantly.
Coming to Portugal to race is fantastic as I am a great fan of the country and the weather which leading into the race weekend soared into the mid thirty degrees proving fitness to be very important.
